I can’t even put into words how happy and proud I am to own this beautiful piece of artwork. I’m so incredibly thankful that I found this artist. I absolutely adore Annie Lennox and Peter’s drawing of her is superb! I cannot get over his immense talent. I feel like I was meant to own this beautiful portrait! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💜

Pastels, pencils, charcoal. Faber Castell are my favourite pastel sticks, just the right semi-hard consistency.

Rubbing colourful sticks on fabric

Peter draws. Both his parents were Architects. His mother wanted to be an artist, but that wasn't considered a valid aspiration for a young gel. Her uncle, Arthur Murch, was a respected Australian artist. He made the Govett's Leap sculpture at Blackheath and lots of moderately famous paintings. So you can say fine arts is in the blood.

Back to our Peter. When he was younger he would draw cars. When he was doing the Newtown Art Markets in Sydney he would draw bold black and white ink studies and make lino prints of people. Now he's settled in the Blue Mountains with four boys and a little girl, he's drawing again.

Over the years he has refined a way of laying down color on fabric to accurately render images from photographs. Mostly portraits, but also animals, architecture and cars. Maybe you have a special photo he could draw up large on fabric.

This Etsy shop came about 2013 when Peter took the jump and quit his day job to draw full time. The Blue Mountains is a great place for weekend markets and niche art galleries. Along with me (Veronica) as web page wrangler, hopefully we'll make a go of this.
